The Allan Hancock College Friends of the Library
received an estate donation of antiquarian books
that the Board is allowing us to auction as a
fundraiser. These are rare, collectible and
scholarly volumes with publication dates from 1582
to the present that are not appropriate for our
AHC collection.
The District has initiated a legal bid process,
with bids due no later than 3:30 pm on September
12th.
Quite a few of these books are in the subject
areas of history, biography, and literature, with
emphasis on military history and the American
Civil War. I am attaching a brief description
below.
